Iowa State Cyclones' NCAA Seed Hopes Hinge on Tournament Results

0:00On March 12, the Iowa State Cyclones are pushing hard in the Big 12 tournament to climb the NCAACed line. They're projected as a number 3 seed right now, even after landing at number 7 in the AP poll. They just dominated Arizona State 91-42 in a quarter finals route, and now faced Texas Tech with some revenge on their minds. That win keeps their hopes alive for a number 2 seed if they keep rolling. The bracket sets up potential semi-finals matchups that can make or break their resume, especially against teams they faced before. Fans and analysts see huge stakes in Arizona versus UCF since the winner could meet Iowa State next. The Cyclones blew out UCF earlier, but lost to Arizona recently, so a rematch victory there would boost their profile big time. Meanwhile, eyes are on Yukon against Xavier in the Big East, and Houston versus BYU in the Big 12. A stumble by Yukon, still ahead despite tougher losses, or Houston, whom Iowa State already beat, which strengthened the Cyclones' case-come selection Sunday.
